Starting with new music from those that used to be known as Quiet Village, C.R.S.T., & James Blake, Gilles will carefully ease you into the mix this week. Later in the show, he dives into jazz with a special ‘Deep End’ mix including Mary Lou Williams, Max Roach, Dewey Redman, Chico Hamilton, Roy Ayers, Stanley Cowell, and more of course. The show was recorded shortly after the terribly sad news of Guru‘s passing. So naturally it includes a big chunk of Gangstarr – represent.

Coming down off the excitement of that World Cup mix, Gilles Peterson still has to wait a while before the first match in June. Back to the groove, he’s home from a trip South covering New Zealand and Australia, and he has reliably collected new music all along the way. This week features music from that side of the globe, as well as some recent listens and favorites from his tour, like Scuba, Ramadanman and Michel Cleis. This week GPWW also features a mix from Josh Wink, an innovator from Philadelphia whose musical approach is described as techno meets big-room bop.

Did you know the new Gil Scott-Heron record I’m New Here has a some special vinyl-only tracks? Gilles knows. Other gems in this week’s edition of GPWW include the original sample for Jay Electronica‘s “Exhibit C,” a reggae version of the great Bob James‘ “Nautilus,” Erykah Badu‘s new track “Window Seat,” new music from Blundeto, Darkstar, Gideon Van Gelder and more.

This week Gilles also features a mix by Kalabrese out of Zurich, Switzerland.

This week on Gilles Peterson World Wide radio, we start with some World music from various labels around the globe. Then Gilles prepared a mix of ‘Men With Soul’, inspired by the great Teddy Pendergrass: music from the likes of Sam Dees, Bobby Womack, John Byrd and many more.

UK tastemaker extraordinaire Gilles Peterson pulls out some of his favorite laid-back tracks of the year, as well as some of 2009′s best reissues and world music releases. As usual, the GPWW playlist is widely diverse, running the gambit from Marvin Gaye to Oliver Lake Ntu to Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou.
